That does not mean that an office suite isnt useful.<br>
<br>
Having an office suite installed gives the impression that Fedora is<br>
serious and redy for work, and also stops the default installation<br>
from being seen as a "toy".<br>

When OOO.o wasnt installed by default, it used to be one of the first<br>
steps carried out by me (and I suspect many others). Having it on the<br>
live media is IMO a good thing.<br>
